The King's Beloved Empress
Episode 27 (In revision)

Aldrich was silent for a moment. He was wondering what his wife was thinking. "As far as you go."Aldrich said lazily then walked towards the bathroom.

Ellen breathed a sigh of relief because she felt tired from arguing with Anna. If he were to argue again with the king, maybe he would become stressed.

In the dining room, as usual, the family enjoyed their breakfast. Katherine this time did not invite Ellen to fight again but her eyes still glared disliked him.

Ellen watched one by one the people who were eating at the table. The Queen was busy with her food. He seems to be avoiding the son-in-law and that makes Ellen wonder. Ellen is upset with Anna who keeps watching Aldrich eating. And strangely Ellen felt grateful that Aldrich did not look at the woman at all and only focused on her food.

After eating, Ellen planned to chat with the Queen. During her marriage she had not had a chance to speak to her father-in-law for one eye.

"Your Majesty the Queen, can we talk for a moment? I haven't had a chance to talk to your Majesty the Queen during the marriage."Ellen asked and everyone who was still at the dining table, looking towards her.

"You're not following your husband?"Ask Queen Irene.

"Your Majesty, can I speak with Her Majesty the Queen first? I'll catch up with you."Ellen asked her husband for permission.

Aldrich just nodded without saying anything. He also went to continue his work.

While Katherine had begun to dare to make a fuss again because her sister had left.

"What do you need to do talking to my mom? Do you want to fool him? Aye right? You must be making a wicked plan!"Said Katherine with her dirty thoughts.

"What am I doing that could harm my daughter? Don't talk nonsense. You better go study there."Ellen.

"Grrr..Let's see you later Ellen, I'll immediately expose your vices!"Katherine threatened.

"Just spread the princess.I am not afraid and do not mind it. Just do what makes you happy to hurt me because I'm sure you won't make it."Ellen smiled.

"Well! So arrogant of you! Look, I'll prove it!"

"Katherine, enough! Come with me."Queen Irene told Ellen.

"Okay, your honor."

After Queen Irene and Ellen left, Anna whispered something towards Katherine's ears.

"Pst princess, I have a good plan for you."Said Anna.

"What?"Ask Katherine.

"We must make our way to the city today and spread the fact to all the inhabitants that his noble consort has a bad nature. He has no manners or knowledge of running his job."

"Well, that's right too. The residents will immediately believe if I speak directly. They're going to protest and then vilify Ellen. After that brother will definitely divorce her."Katherine smiled cunningly.

While in the central room where the palace family all gathered to rest in the room, the two women sat there.

"Well, did you dislike me so much that you wanted to quickly end this conversation?"Ask Ellen.

"No, it's not that. You'll have to accompany your husband there."Queen Irene said.

"It doesn't matter to Her Majesty the Queen. Besides, I asked for permission with his Majesty, right? I just want to know why you agreed to your son's matchmaking with me? Miss Anna is also there. You don't seem to like me, do you?"

Queen Irene was silent for a moment. Instantly he felt amazed by his son-in-law who liked to talk to the point without further ado. Not to mention his high confidence and courage. He was not even afraid of facing his son who had a bad temper. He was also afraid to face his son.

"Don't misunderstand me. I don't dislike you. I'm just.worried. Isn't it natural for a mother to worry about her son? I'm a little hard to explain. You are indeed beautiful. Even prettier than Anna. But your nature is very different from other noble women. That's why I hesitated and watched over you."Answer Queen Irene.

"Oh.so, Your Highness. I thought you hated me all along. Sorry if I show you the nature of the installment as you can see. I actually do this just to protect myself. I just don't like being too sued. I like the freedom. I would immediately say like it or not frankly. I just don't like falsehoods."Ellen.

Queen Irene could only be stunned to hear Ellen's words. He smiled soon too.

"Heh, it turns out I didn't choose you wrong to be my son's wife. You're more reliable than Anna."Said Queen Irene.

"You serious? But..didn't you look friendly to Miss Anna? I think you like it better?"Ellen did not believe it.

"This is how you know my personality. I'm hard to guess and I feel proud. I don't want to match Anna to my son because he's unreliable. As you can see, she's just busy beautifying herself. While you are, you don't care at all about looks. Even this morning I saw you wander still with your pajamas and your messy hair."

"Ah, so you saw him? Why don't I see you?"Ellen asked in shock and embarrassment.

"I just woke up and wanted to breathe some fresh air. I was standing on the balcony. You don't look up, so you don't know."Said Queen Irene.

"So..you know I was chatting with Miss Anna?" Ask Ellen.

"Yes I know. But I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just seeing if it looks like you guys are having a fight."

"Haha yes, we were fighting. But your majesty doesn't need to think about it because it doesn't matter. I feel so grateful because your majesty doesn't hate me."Ellen felt moved.

"Yes, I like you because of your nature. Hope you keep it. From now on, don't call me the queen again. Call me mother."Queen Irene's pinta smiled.

Ellen felt very moved. And it seems like he just realized that his change in attitude will have a big effect on the people who judge him. "Good mom. I am honored that my mother accepted me."Ellen looked down.

"You don't have to duck. Anytime if we have time, we'll chat again like this. And I apologized earlier with my attitude that made you misunderstand. Not to mention Katherine who has always been disrespectful to you."Queen Irene felt guilty.

"You don't have to apologize, Mom. I'm it's okay. I'll make Katherine like me. You just calm down."Ellen assured.

Queen Irene just smiled. "Then follow your husband. He must have been waiting for you. I feel grateful that it seems my son is starting to like you."Said Queen Irene.

Ellen's cheeks blushed. "Ah mom could have. Yes, I will go to the king's majesty. Excuse me mother."Ellen then left.
